Stereotypical Thanksgiving Post...

Things that I'm grateful for...

- People who are not ashamed of me when I snort
- Redbox
- My amazing roommates
- Good conversation
- The acoustics in my car
- The ability I have to serve others
- Old friends
- New friends
- People who sing along
- Good hugs
- 3 hour conversations with my mom
- Random text messages of love
- Home-cooked meals
- The satisfaction I get from organizing things
- Dance
- Music that speaks to my soul
- People who make life worth living
- The one who knows it all--my Savior, Brother, Redeemer, and Best Friend

There's probably a million other things I could mention, but during this season of Thanksgiving I have decided to really do my best to be optimistic and see the good in everything. I am someone who is so incredibly blessed and I would surely be amiss if I didn't take a moment here and there to realize that.

Stop and smell the roses, for tomorrow they may be nothing more than potpourri. 

Ciao!
